Hi all toolman here
just wanted your input on the following situation
what's the best codec to render the mts files to before adding them to a premiere pro 5.5 timeline.
I usually work on quiet large 1 to 1.5 hour projects with 3 camera or so. I find that usually after avoue 1.2 the project is done premiere pro has a wobbler and it takes upwards of 30 seconds for a single frame of video to update in the project window,
then this happens i have to pre render out the time lines at 1/4 resolution just so i can finish the project off.
I'm wondering weather Avid DNxHD or Lagarith codec's might help in the timeline
The avid NDxHD codec renders the mts files to about 77.5 gb of footage per hour in an .mov wrapper and takes about 110min to render on my system (am i right in thinking that the face that its a .mov means that i cannot take advantage of the 64 bit o/s - program
The Lagarith codec renders the 1080p mts files to about 128.4gb of footage per hour in a .avi wrapper and it takes about 98min to render
adding both to a 1080p timeline i discovered that that during playback of the avid DNxHD file my cpu usage on all 4 cores was about 85 to 90% - playback of the Lagarith formated file my cpu usage (4 cores) was around 55%
I usually work as follows
I place all the footage from the 3 separate cameras onto 3 separate time lines and sync them. Then onto these video files on the time lines I color grade as needed (THEN I TURN OFF THE COLOR GRADING EFFECTS ON ALL THE FILES ON THESE 3 TIMELINES)
I then add these 3 timelines to a master time line as 3 separate sequences and proceed to edit / chop out what i need.
thanks in advance for any help / thoughts on this - particularly interested in people whe edit long timelines similar to mine as to what codec they render to first.
